Q the Omnipotent

O is for Omnipotent! Lets not forget Q, the omnipotent alien
entity from the Q continuum who plagues Captain Picards with relish. Q
loves troubling the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D with his
strange sense of humor and jokes, often causing the crew
harm in the process. Q appears in lots of Star Trek TNG,
Voyager and DS9 episodes.

Apparently, he has a vague passing
regard in humans stating quite openly that he's a Klingon at
heart gifted with an I.Q. of 2005. On the face of it, Q is a
constant thorn in Picard's side who appears out of no-where
from another dimension. Why shouldn't Captain Picard flip out
when his 'Omnipotence' pushes his buttons?

Q: "What must I do to convince you people?"

Worf: "DIE."

Q: "O very good Worf, eat any good books lately?"

Picard: "Fine, you want to be treated as human?"

Q: "Absolutely."

Picard: "All right. Mister Worf, throw him in the brig."

Worf: "Delighted, Captain."

Q: "You can't do this to me, Jean-Luc."

Worf: "You will walk or I will carry you!

Q: "Given the option, I'll...I'll walk."

Whats the name of the episode Q loses his powers in? Did you
enjoy watching Worf throw Q in the brig? Do you really reckon Worf eats books?

Déja Q! I loved that episode, and every other one in which Q appeared. I'm saving your "best of Q" video for later enjoyment, though I'm certain I've seen all of them numerous times. One of my favorite Q moments was the mariachi band on the bridge.
